Very interested! It'd be cool to see this next to a MB149, just to compare the size.

 

I'll find my own Balance...some day....

georges,

 

Another beautiful pen! Recently I am attracted by the beauty of green stripes. Do the stripes of your pen resemble that of Pelikan M450?

A real beauty George !

Glad to hear you are happy with the repair !

Than you :notworthy1: My very first vac fill was a brown vac fill that you repaired and that I bought at Jean Elie too almost two years ago, it works flawlessly. You are the sheaffer vac fill specialist in Europe, thanks again for your work as well as helping sheaffer enthusiasts :thumbup: :happyberet:

hi rokurinpapa

 

not sure that the stripes ressemble the stripes of the m450 because the stripes of the m450 are turquoise green and these ones are of vivid green color.

Thanks for the review. Not a pen that I knew much about or that I had ever thought of getting but I now know it to be worthy of consideration.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
